A control device of a gear transmission-equipped vehicle includes a power controller that starts power reduction control when it is determined that a start condition is satisfied, the power reduction control being control of reducing power transmitted from a driving source to a gear transmission. The start condition includes: a condition that a detection value of a gear position sensor that detects a current gear position of the gear transmission falls within a transition region between engagement regions corresponding to respective gear positions; and a condition that a speed difference obtained by subtracting a rotational speed of an output shaft of the gear transmission from a rotational speed of an input shaft of the gear transmission is a threshold or more.

Control device of gear transmission-equipped vehicle and method of controlling gear transmission-equipped vehicle

A motorcycle includes a tail lamp, a rear covering, rear end components which are a license plate and a license lamp, a rear stay, and a sensor. The tail lamp emits light toward the rear side. The rear covering is provided with the tail lamp. The rear end components are disposed more rearward than the rear covering. The rear stay extends at least rearward from a connecting portion connected to the rear covering and supports the rear end components. The sensor senses an object rearward is at least partially received in an internal space that is formed either in the rear covering or in the rear stay.

Saddle-ridden vehicle

A motorcycle includes an analog display unit, a liquid crystal display unit, a meter circuit board, a communication unit, a housing, and a meter harness. The analog display unit has a dial plate and a pointer. The liquid crystal display unit is a display for displaying vehicle information. The meter circuit board electronically controls contents displayed on the liquid crystal display unit. The communication unit performs the wireless communication with an external communication terminal. The meter circuit board and the communication unit are disposed within the housing. The meter harness supplies the power with at least the analog display unit, the liquid crystal display unit, the meter circuit board, and the communication unit, and they have a common power conduction path at the outside of the housing.

Saddle type vehicle

A motorcycle supercharger () pressurizes intake air (I) for a combustion engine (E). The supercharger () includes a centrifugal impeller () and an impeller casing () which covers the impeller (). The impeller casing () includes an outer peripheral wall () located radially outward of the impeller () and a side wall () located axially outward of the impeller (). Reinforcing first and second side wall ribs () are provided at the side wall () of the impeller casing ().

Supercharger for saddle-riding vehicle

The present invention relates to compound (I) or a salt thereof which has a ROR&#x3b3;t inhibitory action. wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification.

Heterocyclic compound

A supercharging system for a combustion engine of a motorcycle includes a supercharger which pressurizes intake air and supplies the intake air to the combustion engine, an air intake chamber which is connected to downstream of the supercharger, a relief passage which relieves the high-pressure intake air within the air intake chamber, and a relief valve which is provided on the relief passage. The air intake chamber is disposed above the combustion engine, and the relief passage is disposed below an upper end of the air intake chamber. The relief passage is connected to a front surface of the air intake chamber.

Supercharging system for engine

A motorcycle includes a supercharger to pressurize an intake air and supplying it to a combustion engine and an air intake chamber disposed downstream of the supercharger. The air intake chamber is made of a metallic material and has a capacity of an interior space thereof which is within the range of three to eight times the displacement of the combustion engine. The dimension from an upstream end portion on an inlet side of the interior space of the air intake chamber to a downstream end portion on an outlet side of the interior space of such air intake chamber is chosen to be three or more times the inner diameter of an outlet.

Air intake chamber for saddled vehicle

An air intake chamber is disposed at a location downstream of a supercharger and upstream of a throttle body. The air intake chamber serves to accumulate an intake air pressurized by the supercharger. This air intake chamber includes a confronting portion, which has an outlet and overlaps the throttle body, and a connecting portion that connects between the confronting portion and a discharge port of the supercharger. The connecting portion has an outlet side opening set to be larger than an inlet side opening thereof.

An air intake duct of a motorcycle extends rearwardly from a front portion of a motorcycle body so as to pass laterally of the left side of a motorcycle frame structure, and incoming wind is supplied as an intake air through the air intake duct to a combustion engine. The air intake duct is divided in a widthwise direction of the motorcycle. An upper dividing face of the air intake duct is disposed inward of an intermediate position, in a motorcycle widthwise direction, of the air intake duct.

Air intake duct of saddle-ridden vehicle

A piston cooling structure for an engine includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle for injecting a cooling liquid towards a back face of a piston that reciprocally move within a cylinder bore along a cylinder axis line. The first angle of inclination of an axis of the first nozzle relative to the cylinder axis line is set to be smaller than the second angle of inclination of an axis of the second nozzle relative to the cylinder axis line.

Piston cooling structure in combustion engine

A combustion engine of a motorcycle has an engine rotary shaft extending in a vehicle widthwise direction. Incoming wind taken in from a front of a steering handle that is positioned in front of the combustion engine, is introduced through an air intake duct to the combustion engine. The air intake duct extends from the front of the steering handle to a rearward of a cylinder block so as to pass above a radiator and pass laterally of one side of the cylinder block.

Saddle-ridden vehicle engine

An engine (E) of a saddle-riding type vehicle has an engine case that is substantially L-shaped by a cylinder block () being protruded upward from an upper face of a front portion of a crank case (). An air cleaner () is disposed rearwardly of the cylinder block () and above the crank case (). An outlet () through which blow-by gas (G) in the engine (E) is discharged is formed in the rear portion of the cylinder block (). A case body () of the air cleaner () has a blow-by gas introduction port () through which the blow-by gas (G) is introduced into the air cleaner (). The outlet () of the cylinder block () and the blow-by gas introduction port () of the case body () are connected by a connecting pipe (). The blow-by gas introduction port () is disposed close to the cylinder block ().

Saddled vehicle

An air intake duct, of a saddle-riding type vehicle, in which a flow velocity of an intake air is less likely to be reduced to enable prevention of reduction of an efficiency of a supercharger, is provided. The air intake duct of a motorcycle serves to supply incoming wind as the intake air to the supercharger for a combustion engine. The air intake duct has a passage area that is gradually reduced from an air intake port at a front portion toward a downstream portion connected to the supercharger at a rear portion.

An air intake chamber for a motorcycle is disposed downstream of a supercharger, for pressurizing and supplying an intake air to an engine, and upstream of a throttle body, for controlling the amount of the intake air to be supplied to an air intake port of the engine. The air intake chamber serves to accumulate the high pressure intake air discharged from the supercharger. The air intake chamber is provided with an injector, which has a fuel injecting port positioned at a location displaced from an axis of an outlet of the air intake chamber.
